What average SAT score does NC State look for?

Hello everyone. I've been eyeing NC State as a potential option for college. However, I'm kind of stuck on what SAT score range they're looking for. Is anyone knowledgeable about this and could shed some light?

NC State University is test optional for applicants with a weighted GPA of 2.8 and above (that's the equivalent to a B- average). Applicants with a weighted GPA of 2.8 or above will not be required to submit standardized test scores as part of a complete application.

NC State, like many institutions, evaluates applications holistically, taking into consideration factors like your high school GPA, rigorousness of your course load, extracurricular involvement, and application essays.

Lastly, make sure to stay updated on any changes to NC State's admissions policies. In recent years, several universities have shifted to test-optional policies due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so it's important to check regularly.
